Jeremiah 38:1-10

Then Shephatiah
<08203>
the son
<01121>
of Mattan
<04977>_,
and Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Pashur
<06583>_,
and Jucal
<03116>
the son
<01121>
of Shelemiah
<08018>_,
and Pashur
<06583>
the son
<01121>
of Malchiah
<04441>_,
heard
<08085> (8799)
the words
<01697>
that Jeremiah
<03414>
had spoken
<01696> (8764)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
He that remaineth
<03427> (8802)
in this city
<05892>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
by the famine
<07458>_,
and by the pestilence
<01698>_:
but he that goeth forth
<03318> (8802)
to the Chaldeans
<03778>
shall live
<02421> (8804)_;
for he shall have his life
<05315>
for a prey
<07998>_,
and shall live
<02421> (8799) (8675) <02425> (8804)_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
This city
<05892>
shall surely
<05414> (8736)
be given
<05414> (8735)
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon's
<0894>
army
<02428>_,
which shall take
<03920> (8804)
it.
Therefore the princes
<08269>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>_,
We beseech thee, let this man
<0376>
be put to death
<04191> (8714)_:
for thus
<03651>
he weakeneth
<07503> (8764)
the hands
<03027>
of the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
that remain
<07604> (8737)
in this city
<05892>_,
and the hands
<03027>
of all the people
<05971>_,
in speaking
<01696> (8763)
such words
<01697>
unto them: for this man
<0376>
seeketh
<01875> (8802)
not the welfare
<07965>
of this people
<05971>_,
but the hurt
<07451>_.
{welfare: Heb. peace}
Then Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, he [is] in your hand
<03027>_:
for the king
<04428>
[is] not [he that] can
<03201> (8799)
do [any] thing
<01697>
against you.
Then took
<03947> (8799)
they Jeremiah
<03414>_,
and cast
<07993> (8686)
him into the dungeon
<0953>
of Malchiah
<04441>
the son
<01121>
of Hammelech
<04428>_,
that [was] in the court
<02691>
of the prison
<04307>_:
and they let down
<07971> (8762)
Jeremiah
<03414>
with cords
<02256>_.
And in the dungeon
<0953>
[there was] no water
<04325>_,
but mire
<02916>_:
so Jeremiah
<03414>
sunk
<02883> (8799)
in the mire
<02916>_.
{of Hammelech: or, of the king}
Now when Ebedmelech
<05663>
the Ethiopian
<03569>_,
one
<0376>
of the eunuchs
<05631>
which was in the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
heard
<08085> (8799)
that they had put
<05414> (8804)
Jeremiah
<03414>
in the dungeon
<0953>_;
the king
<04428>
then sitting
<03427> (8802)
in the gate
<08179>
of Benjamin
<01144>_;
Ebedmelech
<05663>
went forth
<03318> (8799)
out of the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
to the king
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
My lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>_,
these men
<0582>
have done evil
<07489> (8689)
in all that they have done
<06213> (8804)
to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_,
whom they have cast
<07993> (8689)
into the dungeon
<0953>_;
and he is like to die
<04191> (8799)
for
<06440>
hunger
<07458>
in the place
<08478>
where he is: for [there is] no more bread
<03899>
in the city
<05892>_.
{he is like...: Heb. he will die}
Then the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Ebedmelech
<05663>
the Ethiopian
<03569>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
from hence thirty
<07970>
men
<0582>
with thee
<03027>_,
and take up
<05927> (8689)
Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
out of the dungeon
<0953>_,
before he die
<04191> (8799)_.
{with thee: Heb. in thine hand}
